SAUCE FOR THE SAUSAGE

SjA.TTJSAG^E?. Ftb nge Action by Germany.—On the eve of the naval mobilisation a German South African liner appeared, two days before her time, and anchored at Dover, close to where Admiral Winslce waa mobilising 40 war»bipe. The vessel landed nnmberß of German naval officers and torpedo seamen on the pretext of laying a wreath on the graves of their comrades from Grosser Kurfurst. The action has aroused much comment. John Bull : " What do you want skulking round here ?" Herb Sadsage ! " Only want ter honour mine goundrymen mit a wreaths on bis grave." John 801 l ! " Well hook it aa sudden as you can, or you'll need 'em on yonr own !"

them has been allowed for, and, if properly taken, the figures are correct. Another thing is that taking the b.h.p. it places all motors on an even footing, while now an ordinary engine, say 10 horso, may be equal to a 25 horse-power water motor, which is very confusing, and often leads to no end of loss and disappointment. It is gratifying to find that a previous reply proved so satisfactory as sour letter says, and it is to be hoped that when you have given the necessary pressure required your answer will be as you desire, and so that you can understand it thoroughly. Ignoramus.— (l) Next week. (2) Mr G. M. Thomson, F.L.S., kindly replies: I do not know a work that treats of floriculture both botanically and practically; the two parts are usually kept somewhat distinct. But for the practical part Walter P. Wright's " Pictorial Practical Gardening," which can be obtained from Mpssts R. J. Stark and Co. for Is 3d, is a useful little book. 3rp.°CTur.EH — (1) Wai, water; kanae, fish; (2) Maka, shy, wild, rau, catch in a net; (3) Ronpa, company of persons, shoal of fish ; rin, ang"r, quarrel. J. W H., Becks.— The Witness began to be regu'ar'y lihmtra+pd on January 18, 1900, though an ll'ustiatod issue had appeared on December 28. 1899. This had been pieccded by one or two illustrated Christmas issues and by the two Jubilee numbers, in March, 1898.

BHP, Otautau —Mr H. M. .Davey replies- The simplest way of obtaining the brake horse-pov.-er of any revolving shaft, whether of small or large power, is as fo!tow«u—GLat % kvex of. caurejuent leiyrth t

before or after the machine is stopped. R equals the distance from centre of the shaft to centre of spring balance in feet ; N ie equal to the number of revolutions per minute; P equals the pull in pounds as shown by the balance or weights.

It is well not to try too much in the beginning, as it is steady work that is required, not spasmodic efforts. A good plan, for chest expansion is, while partly undressed, to xpand the chest to its full and raise the arms high above the head, bringing them down a^aiUj and repeating aa often as ca-

sible without undue exertion. " Before c* pelling the air; meet the thumbs at th« ; small of the back. This done regularly . night and morning has a wonderful effeoi in expanding the chest. It is better to do a. little regularly than a great deal spasmodic cally. R. W., Island Cliff.— Many thanks for yoUS letter and offer. " Dinornis " is communl< eating withT you by post.
